PERFORMANCES BY
From the Hudson Valley:
BRASSKILL (NYC debut!)
Founded in early 2018 and based in Hudson, NY, Brasskill is a lively 15-piece party brass band whose mission is to get your party out on the dance floor. Bringing funky decibels to parties, festivals, parades and other merry gatherings in the Hudson Valley and surrounding areas, Brasskill's high-energy live performances feature a driving percussion section, shiny, melodic horns, innovative band choreography, LED lights, and the finest thrift store sparkly attire that one can find. The band's wide-ranging repertoire includes music from the New Orleans second line tradition, punk and pop covers, international grooves, as well as original compositions and arrangements.
Mac $ Cheeze Balkan Power Trio
From NYC:
Dark Tide Brass Band
A briny Brooklyn-based brass band composed of seasoned street band veterans. They enjoy playing unexpected, up-tempo tunes in minor keys. And octopuses. Keep your spyglass on @DarkTideBrass to see where they'll be washing up next!
Extra Syrup Horns
Performing the premiere of a new work from Chanell Crichlow commissioned by HONK NYC!
Extra Syrup Horns centers its sound around classic R&B, Hip Hop and Pop. Their sound is soulfully tight, evoking a Southern Marching Band swagger with a drive that only a city can produce.
Their energy is contagious and uplifting whether it's their 5 piece stage show or mobile setup. The group is led by Chanell "tubafresh" Crichlow and Bryan Walters of the well-loved PitchBlak Brass Band, currently on hiatus.
Funkrust Brass Band
Funkrust Brass Band is a 20-piece post-apocalyptic disco-punk brass band playing all original music with megaphone vocals, heavy tuba bass lines, thundering percussion and searing brass melodies. Their explosive live performances feature full band choreography, signature wasteland/glam uniforms and LED lighting effects. The band mixes post-punk, disco, EDM, metal, and funk with Balkan brass and New Orleans second line sounds, and filters that through the medium of a massive street brass band with a punk rock sensibility.
Stumblebum Brass Band
The Stumblebums are the last punk band in NYC.
